Surveillance for Travel-Related Disease — GeoSentinel Surveillance System, United States, 1997–2011
GeoSentinel is a clinic-based global surveillance system that tracks infectious diseases and other adverse health outcomes in returned travelers, foreign visitors, and immigrants. This report discusses data that were collected during September 1997–December 2011 on 141,789 patients with confirmed or probable travel-related diagnoses. Health-care providers should help prepare travelers properly for safe travel and provide destination-specific medical evaluation of returning ill travelers. These efforts, including proper training, should focus on preventing and treating a variety of travel-related conditions, particularly traveler’s diarrhea and malaria.

An estimated 4.7% of adolescents aged 12–17 years reported an illicit drug use disorder in the past year, 4.2% had an alcohol abuse disorder in the past year, and 2.8% had cigarette dependence in the past month. The overall suicide rate for persons aged 10–19 years was 4.5 suicides per 100,000 persons in 2010. Approximately 8% of adolescents aged 12–17 years reported ≥14 mentally unhealthy days in the past month.
